PRE-ORDER CLOSEDPre-orders for this release closed on 11th March 2019 (NZST) .

New Zealand Mint is pleased to provide our customers the opportunity to pre-order the first release in the Inventions of Leonard Da Vinci coin collection from our partnering mint, the Czech Mint. This first release is the Aerial Screw 1oz Silver Coin - with an incredibly small mintage of only 1,000 coins.

This new four coin collection has been published to mark the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Leonardo Da Vinci’s death in 1519. The first silver coin represents a flying machine that is similar to today's helicopter.

Leonardo had been fascinated by the birds since childhood and dreamed that he would fly with them. Because he was not only an unrivalled artist, but also a brilliant designer, he sketched out 150 designs of sophisticated machines to fulfil his dream. These designs included parachutes and ornithopters with wings along with his “air screw” machine that also used human force to achieve flight.

Don't miss out on this first release and pre-order your Aerial Screw 1oz Silver Coin and Collector’s Tin before Monday 11th March 2019 (NZST)! Orders are expected to ship early April.
